What is this all about?

The map shows the existing MEV Boost relays and the MEV-boosted blocks of the last 3 days that contained Tornado Cash transactions. While some relays take measures to prevent the terrible consequences of a tornado, others are exposed to them without any protection.

Why aren`t there tornados at every relay?

Some relays operate under the guidance of the OFAC. This protects them from Tornados!

What are the effects of Tornados?

Tornados kick up a lot of dust, so observers often can`t identify the victims. Uprooted merkle trees fly through the air. A horrible scenario. Survivors often have zero knowledge what happened.

What qualifies as a Tornado?

Every block including a transaction that interacted with the ETH, DAI, USDC, USDT, cDai or wBTC contracts of Tornado Cash, no matter which denomination, plus TORN Transfers (mainnet only).

What`s the message?

We should not interfere with nature.
Censorship-resistance must remain a core value.
